Title: Poll: What kind of racebike do you ride?
Post by: OmniGLH on July 01, 2003, 12:28:34 PM
What kind of bike do you race?  Have a few products in mind that I want to make, and I want to get an idea for what's being raced out there the most.

Thanks

Care to share or PM me what you had in mind? Do you have a biz going already? Would you be selling these through yourself, or a dealer?  ( I make some products, too, and have some new stuff coming out, so I'm curious...see my site)

Ya I know, it dawned on me after I clicked "Post" that I should've separated the two (03 and pre-03).  Tho with only 8 choices available, it got hard.  Maybe I'll just write up a quick web page and take the survey there.

LOL!

Not many places to race a Waterbuffalo in vintage motorcycle orgs...

But, if you did, geometry is the key, just like modern bikes.  The new tires that you can put on vintage machinery puts loads on the chassis that they never had at the time.  Additionally, they just didn't understand how the chassis should be during that era.  

Oh, and the Waterbuffalo's are heavy...it will be an expensive diet.

I was reading about the factory race effort. The X-11 I think. It was a tire and chain eater. I learned how to ride on one. (not an X-11) Now that I think about it, I think I'll pass on the idea. Those things handled like crap. I was spit over the handlebars once at over a hundred.  :o (That was when I was 22. I didn't get on a bike again untill I was 39 :-/)

X11 sounds about right.  I believe the 500 air cooled models were x75's.  I rode a T500 a couple of years ago.  I had portions of an RD chassis welded into the frame.  Wasn't bad, but it could have been a whole lot better.

Wow Super Dave, an H1?
One of these day's I'd like to have an H2 and an XLCR (high hopes...).  I have a buddy that always use to ride GT500's.  He still has an RE5, but it's in sad shape.

H2 would be fun, but there is no class for in in AHRMA.

Lots to do with the H1 right now.  Here's what we had in January...

Notice the nice Woodcraft footpegs.

Of course his is definitely different...they had to lower it about 6 inches and the poor guy still can't touch the ground.

Wow... I suprised to see so many new Kawi's.  Not that it's not a sweet ride by any means... just didn't think that out of 50 polled so far, almost half would be the new 600.  Cool.
